Opening Session of the Spring Meeting— Papers Read Today—Officers and Members to Be Elected. No crowd came togetherto witness the open- ing session of the spring meeting of the Na- tional Academy of Sciences today in the hall of the national museum, This was not eurpris- ing, as these meetings bave never attracted a crowd, The membership of the academy com- prises the most etnincnt scientists of the coun- try, and when these learned savans meet they discuss subjects that are of interest to them. They have their own “method and as a rule not only is the manner of the discussions technical, but —_ the subjects themeclves are extremely abstruse to those who are not accustomed to live in the high, cool atmosphere of pure science, For these reasous, mainly, the members of tho y have the spacious hall of the seademy y for their own use. ‘The public are not kept out. The doors are left wide open and even tho mere visitor to the city i through the museum can the meeting and. drink in tever of informetion ho can, Some- es a party of tourists will, stray into the , but they don’t stay Jong. “The only rep- ntatives of this class known to honor the academy with anything like a prolonged stay aro the bridal coupies, They come in, dro} into u back seat and as the scene is quiet an peaceful and no one looks at them they stay in, ‘There are one or two ladics who always attend the seesions of the academy and botray a deep interest in tho proceedings, Then there is o small contingent from the scientific men of the city who come into the hall in time to hear some particular paper and then retire, But atter all the valuo and importance of these gatherings rests om the quelity rather than the quantity of the attendance. The metnbers are ail leaders in the various branches of scientific work, and on these occasions they give to the world the results of any investiga- tions that has been occupying their attention, Last year Prof, Langley described his interest- ing experiments in aerial navigation, and pro- vided a theme for discussion which ‘has filled upa good many pages and columns in the periodical magazines and in the newspapers, NO FORMALITY ALOUT THE MEETINGS, There is no formality about the meetings of the academy. Generally each day the mem- bers meet in council, to which the public is not admitted. After this meeting thoy come out into the public hall. Prof. 0. C. Marsh, the president of the academy, takes his seat on the latform. Prof. Asaph Hall, the secretary, is in his place, Then the president taps lightly on the table and says, “The academy will come to order.” He them announces the first paper on the printed program and the acade: is fairly started. This morning, however, Prof. Marsh varied the program by stating that the academy would be in session through Friday, holding two sessions each day, with the excop- tion of Thursday, when no morning session will be held, ‘Thursday is an important day to @ number who are not now members of the academy but hope to be. At present there are ten vacan- cies in the roll of membership and it is ex- ected that on Thursday some five now mem- Bers will bo elected. Only five can be elected to membership at one meeting, and the appli- cants who do not succeed in gotting in time will have to wait until next year. — six members of council are to be elect PAPERS READ TODAY. ‘The first paper read today was entitled, “The American Moor,” by Prof. G.
